Need some ideas too.. thinking of either Borovets or Bansko. Does anyone know both of these resorts? We are a group of 8 youngsters (all beginners, some wishing to snowboard) I know Borovets has better nightlife, but on previous reports the hotels seem better in bankso. Any comments on resort / hotel would be welcome!
Went to Borovets last march I would reccomend it if your young as I think Bansko is a bit quiet.I stayed in the Samakov the rooms are large ,but basic but the facilities are excellent swimming pool,bowling,bars there is a big nightclub which is cheap but never very busy.
same i think bansko is beter for beginners and does have some nightlife
what about Pamps???all are good in there own ways and all do have night life but you will be welcomed and have a great time wherever you go
the bulgarians are warm people who are esy to get on with
in borovets the hotels are simple and can be amusing where as pamps and bansko they are better(so some say its each to there own)
i stay'd at borovets samokov in january, great time, met a great beginners group and all going back in january. nightlife ok, cheap and lots of pop to drink..! hope you have a great time...
there are more runs in Borovets, and the lifts are nearly all as good as Bansko now, after they replaced two last year. The night life is definately better in Borovets. Borovets is regarded as excellant for beginners as well. The Samakov Hotel along with some of the others has been upgrading the rooms this summer, they are a lot better, and i even had a mini bar in mine .
Pamps is full of taxi drivers and second hand car salesmen
